men up in line at five o'clock IN the
morning, and no point has been neg
lected to give them all the benefit OF
instruction the camp affords.
The chief interest of the drill lies in
that which nobody has yet found out,
namely how the various companies
stand in the competitive drill, and
which will get the $4,000 prize. The
announcement OF the awards will be
made by the judges at three o'clock
this afternoon at the drill grounds, with
due ceremony, and until this formal
presentation no one but the judges will
know who are the winners. General
Sheridan selected the army officers
who are the judges of the drill and he
will present the prizes to the success.
full competitors.
The famous Lomax Rifles of Mobile,
it was thought, would be dangerous
rivals for first honors, and indeed they
were superb company of men and
drilled finely. But they themselves
do not expect very high place now
as they labored under some disanvan.

wife has not been able to drill his men
of late, and he had accidentally omit
ed whole page of the program in the
drill contest which will iDjure their rec

prizes lie somewhere between the Mus

panies, the Toledo Cadets, Company
of the 1st Minnesota and the Wash

THE NEW REVENUE BILL FAILS.

The Revenue bill passed by the
legislature has tailed to become o law,
because the governor discovered as he
was about to sign bis name to it, that
the signature of President pro tenn. Of
the Senate, George Handy Smith, was
missing. The constitution provides
that all bills must be signed by the
presiding officers of both branches be-
fore they are sent to the governor, and
if this be not done within a certain
time the bill does not become a law.
The responsibility of this failure has
not been ascertained, but it is alleged
that it was the fault of the message
clerk of the House in not returning :he
bill to the Senate for President Smith 8
signature.
Under the Revenue act of 1885, the
corporations were exempt from con-
siderable tax by aruling of the Supreme
Court which refused to construe "per-
sons" to mean corporations" but the
new act cured this defect and the larger
tax would have been collected in the
next couple of years. The new act
turned into county treasures one-half
of the tax on personal property, and
it was estimated that this would divide
up $l,0OO,OOO each year among the
counties.
Should an extra session be called it
would cost the state nearly $15O,O0O
at the least figure. The bill could be
passed in six days, but the compensa.
tion for extra sessions is $500 and un-
der the law members and senators
would each be entitled to that amount.
Whether the passage Of the revenue
bill would be worth so much to the
state is question for the governor to
consider in calling an extra session.
